Bio: Shawn Coscolluela was the top ace in the Air Force. He was hailed as the ghost of the skies due to his out of this world skills in air combat. His career came crashing when he was shot down by Cobra. For months he suffered torture at the hands of Cobra Commander. He thought of ending his life with his own hands but was given another chance to live when he was saved by G.I. Joe, namely Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. The two warriors felt the strong willpower that had kept him alive. He was christened and reborn by the two ninjas as one of the elite of the new age of Joes... Spectre. Now his mission is to become what he hates the most, Cobra. To be one with them, to understand them and ultimately to destroy them.
Other Information: "In the skies and in the darkness the Spectre breathes death to those who bring pain and suffering to the innocent. Only by being one with the enemy, can he kill them"
Notes of Interest:
- Harnesses were made from that rubber material used on tennis rackets and staple wires.
- This figure is drybrushed with little washes.
- This is a self-custom of me. (Remember the poll a while back?)
- There are 3 cobra insignias on this guy (Big one on the backpack, small one on the helmet and a small one on his right wrist made out of the viper vest logo).
- The inside paint of the goggles were 'scraped off" so now it has a frosted look to it.
- ALL of his weapons that aren't being held or used CAN fit inside the shoulder bag.
- The coolest thing I like is the part of the backpack where you can put the sheath of the sword in.
